Experienced animal lover & pet-mom
Pet care experience
I grew up with both dogs and cats and have lots of experience with both in all stages of life. I've done everything from crate/potty training puppies to changing nappies on senior doggos! I'm also experienced with administering ear and oral (pill) medications. I've even trained cats to sit and wear collars and harnesses, and can cat-sit for anxious and aggressive cats. I am patient and attentive and can dog-sit high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs.
Reviews
I guess Laura has a natural affinity around animals, which is evident from how happy my cats are around her. I found them content and well-cared for when I got home.
Laura was awesome — we left Mango with her for a week while we were away. She took great care of Mango, even under extenuating circumstances where she displayed food aggression. Laura kept calm and problem solved while reassuring us. She sent tons of videos, pics and updates! Could not recommend more highly!
Laura was superb with my two cats, one of whom has somewhat complex medical needs, and shared plenty of updates and pictures that made it clear that everything was going great during my trip!
Laura was amazing with my cat. She sent me many pictures and videos everyday and took great care of him. I highly recommend her!
About Laura B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For dog daycare/boarding/walks, your dog must get along with other dogs, as they will be walking with my own dog (and, for the best experience, playing tons with her). I have experience with anxious/aggressive cats and am happy to do drop-ins for them as long as I am given a head's up before we book.
Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet's special needs, dietary restrictions, feeding schedule, and vet / hospital of choice. I look forward to meeting your pet!
A typical day
For cat drop-ins it depends on the kitty, but I'll feed your cat and then socialize with 'em however they want. Playtime, cuddles, gentle pats, it's all on the menu :) For dog walks/daycare/boarding, they'll get plenty of playtime with my 35lb 5mo pup, and pats and praise from me!

Availability
I work at MIT with a hybrid schedule. I do dog walks early morning, mid-day, and evening, near Inman Square. For drop-ins, I'm often available mornings near Inman and Union Squares, and mid-day near Central and Kendall Squares. If booked for dog boarding or daycare, I can be home with your dog on Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun. I am generally in the office in the afternoons on Mon, Tue, and Thu, so your dog must either be trustworthy for ~6hours or crate trained (and come with a crate).
